Effect of vortex-processed water on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants

TL;DRAbstract

This pilot study examined whether treatment with Vortex Process Technology (VPT) of the irrigation
\nwater used on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants had any effect on plant growth. In a block
\nexperiment, with two blocks comprising 12 vases containing 1 L water and two tomato plantlets,
\ntreatment in which, nutrient solution was based on Vortex-treated water was compared with an control
\nusing untreated water. All vases were kept in a static aerated culture system in a daylight chamber for
\nfour weeks. The results showed that the effect of the two blocks exceeded the effect of vortex
\ntreatment in terms of leaf area and weight of fresh and dry matter. Plant height, stem width and
\ninternodal length were significantly different in tomato plants grown in Vortex-processed water
\ncompared with the untreated control. Number of leaves did not vary between the treatments. The study
\nfocused only on the early plant growth phase and no other influe
